FOREWORD 

In honour of Shakespeare this performance has been arranged and this 
book is presented by Actors, Painters and Musicians who have united 
in paying such tribute as lies in their power to the Master-Intellect of 
the ages. 

To all artists the memory of the Great Englishman is as dear as to 
those who recall with gratitude his patriotic love of his native land — 

This happy breed of men, this little world, 
This precious stone set in the silver sea. 

But actors have a special claim to pay their homage to one who 
was himself an actor and a playwright — whose works, apart from their 
contribution to philosophic thought and their " wood-notes wild " of 
divinest poetry, were written primarily for the stage and can best be 
appreciated when seen on the boards. 

For all his countrymen alike the deathless art of Shakespeare — 

especially at a time like this, so unpropitious to the higher levels of 

imaginative creation- — is at once a vindication and a pledge that Art 

itself is immortal. 

W. L. COURTNEY.
